Kate returns, Maxie's not healthy, Claire's a hypocrite and Lante still hasn't, well you know

Finally after months of only hearing her name and one-sided conversations with people on the phone with her, Kate returns to Port Charles!

It was refreshing to see the fashionista back at Crimson all fired up like she usually is. Within seconds of her being on screen, Kate literally threatened the jobs of Lulu and Maxie since neither were at the Crimson office.

Lulu who was with Dante dropped everything to go running to the office but as Kate pointed out, she had only given Lulu five minutes and it was at least a half hour. Kate always makes me laugh when she gets all "Devil wears Prada" with Lulu and Maxie.


Unfortunately for Maxie she was in the hospital recovering from hypothermia and didn't listen to Robin or anyone and checked herself out in order to save her career. I honestly don't understand why Maxie didn't tell Lulu or Kate where she was, but I guess that would be so the writers can have Maxie get worse instead of getting better.

I am pleasantly surprised that through the years the writers have never dropped the ball with Maxie's heart transplant story. I mean when BJ died and Maxie was giver her heart, that was one of the most powerful story lines in GH history.

I guess another great part of this up coming story line with Maxie is that Georgie's ghost visits with her and helps her make decisions and to help her fight for her life. Gee, maybe if TIIC stopped killing off the great characters they wouldn't have to think of new ways to bring them back to Port Charles.


I know she hasn't been on very long, but Federal Prosecutor Claire Walsh is really a character that I would love to see get caught in the cross fire or even simply hit by a bus. I can not stand the woman.

She's a hypocrite at best. When she spouted the line that she doesn't intimidate witnesses, that's a mob tactic I literally was LOL. I mean what does she think she's been doing since she arrived in Port Charles?

Between Dante, Jason, Diane, Alexis, Carly and even Sonny, all Claire Walsh has done is gone after the people directly involved with this story line and tried to throw her weight around as a Federal Prosecutor, if that's not trying to intimidate, I must be missing something.

There's a lot of chatter all over the web that there will be a Sonny/Claire pairing after all is said and done and this Sonny fan wants no part of that! I say bring back Vanessa Marcil to reprise her role as Brenda and have Sonny live his life with his true soulmate!

Speaking of soulmates, while they aren't quite there yet, there is something very special about Lulu and Dante.

The poor couple has tried so many times to consummate their relationship but they always get interrupted; Friday was no exception. Kate called Lulu and this time it wasn't from Paris, it was from the Crimson office.

I just hope when they finally do get to do the deed that it's not a big let down. I hope TPTB give the viewers something really romantic and special. Both the viewers and Lante deserve that much.

What do you think of Kate's return? Is Maxie getting sick a good story line for the once wicked bad girl? Do you like Claire? Do you want her to be paired with Sonny? And how would you like to see Lante finally, well you know?

When Love Hurts

Even though it's just the beginning, Friday's cliffhanger of Kristina and Kiefer was extremely powerful.

Kiefer has always been an angry jerk, but when he was outside the house and heard Sam ask Kristina about Ethan the boy literally lost his mind.

Both Christian Alexander and Lexi Ainsworth literally knocked their scenes out of the park. The fear in Kristina's eyes and the anger in Kiefer's really resonated onto the screen.

While the story is going to be completely degrading to the character of Kristina; I think it really needs to be told because unfortunately it happens on a daily basis in real life.

The worst part is, we know what happened on Friday's episode is just the beginning. It's only going to get worse, meaning the slap is not the only thing Kiefer is going to do to Kristina. And some how, Kristina will think it's her fault and protect her abuser.

Yes Kristina blew Kiefer off to go chasing after Ethan, but that does not give Kiefer a free pass to hurt her physically.

I really wish Kristina would listen to Sam when she tells her it's never okay for any guy to touch her physically like that. When Kristina told Sam about the bruise on her arm and how she got it, Sam was kind, sweet and sensitive with her sister. Regardless of what some viewers think about Sam, she really is an outstanding big sister.

I'm curious to see how this story plays out. If you are spoiler free: Please don't read the next paragraph.

We all know that Kiefer beats Kristina up completely, not like the time he gave her the fat lip and not anything that make-up will cover and since Kristina already told Sam that Ethan grabbed her arm and when Ethan did that it was at the Haunted Star. We also know that Kristina is going to tell everyone that Ethan is the one that beat her up instead of telling the truth about Kiefer. We also know that Sonny is not going to be happy when he finds out his daughter is a victim of abuse; especially given the fact his mother was also a victim of abuse.

I have a feeling that all the players involved with this story line and the actors that portray them are going to do outstanding work and tell an amazing story; as long as the writers don't drop the ball.

What do you think about this story line? Which part most intrigues you? Do you think the story needs to be told? What other stories do you think need to be told on daytime TV?

A touch of history, a fantabulous friendship, a non-couple that should be and so much more

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw JaSam wearing white! I almost died; I mean they are always, always wearing black!

But more than just wearing white; they were happy. They were smiling, laughing and even flirting with each other! I loved every single minute of it!

One thing that really made me love the JaSam scenes today was when Jason told Sam it reminded him of Hawaii and Hawaii reminded him of her, as their song played in the background. It was such a sweet, romantic scene. Too bad Michael had to ruin it by trying to leave the island. I hope Sam gets her wish and they return to the island for themselves some day- and soon!

I love Diane and Alexis's friendship, the two powerful women just feed off each other and I really wish they could get their own sitcom!

What I found great about their scenes today was the fact they were practically finishing each other's sentences when Claire Walsh showed up and they how they did Rock-Paper-Scissors to decide who would be the one to fire Iris; that was simply priceless.

I loved how Molly showed up at the office to talk to Diane and Diane made the comment that she was discussing a capital crime with a child. I just hope when Molly gets older and starts to have problems of her own that everyone she tries to help and protect returns the favor!


Why do TIIC have to keep teasing us with JoMax? Seeing Johnny carry Maxie into the hospital warmed my JoMax heart and longed for the pairing even more! Even with Johnny simply carrying her showed what chemistry the two have.

Can't TIIC see what a gold mine they have with this pairing? I'm sorry but SpiXie has run its course. I used to find Spinelli endearing when he first arrived in Port Charles and even during the beginning of his relationship with Maxie; but now they are B-O-R-I-N-G!


Seeing yet another daydream from "The Jackal" made me want to gag. It's tired and over done; can we please move on. Not too mention that it's getting really old that Spin thinks he needs to be dangerous in order for Maxie to see him as a hero.

That kind of thinking and insecurity should, well, doom any couple; yet SpiXie just keeps on going.

SpiXie used to be really sweet to watch they way they opened up to each other and seeing Maxie become a more mature woman. But now I really miss the old Maxie, I want the scheming Maxie back; I want the Maxie that supplied drugs to Lucky to keep him sleeping with her.

I have a feeling that Maxie could be herself with Johnny and Johnny wouldn't have to worry about not being himself around her. They are a gold mine - please, please, please let me have my JoMax!!

Okay, so first we had Lisa checking out Patrick when he was half naked in the locker room and now it's Patrick's turn and worse yet; he felt the need to explain that it didn't mean anything to him.

Hmm, if it didn't mean anything then why did he have a small flashback when he first saw her and why did he seek her out to tell her it didn't mean anything. Sorry but when you protest that much; you're guilty.

I just don't have a good feeling about Scrubs right now. They are fighting constantly. Robin has spied on Patrick feeding Lisa shots as she laid across the bar at Jake's and even saw him basically drooling Lisa as she stood in her skivvies without ever considering putting her clothes on. I mean com'on her shirt was in her hand as she and Patrick looked at the chart.

Not only is Lisa blatantly obvious; so are the writers. Why does being happy mean eventually you will have to go through angst? Why can't a couple be happy and stay happy? There are plenty of other story lines the writers can give Scrubs to keep them interesting; but that's just my opinion.

So, what did you think about JaSam? Diane and Alexis? Are you a JoMax or Spixie supporter?

Claire Walsh is walking a thin line

Since she arrived in Port Charles, Claire Walsh has been a character I want to bitch slap about as much as Liz.
She's condescending to say the least and where in the world did she get off going to Jason's house and harassing him like that? Couldn't that be considered witness tampering or something?

And what's up with hair?? She looked like one of two things; either she
just had sex and didn't bother to brush the rats nest on top of her head; or she
woke up and didn't bother to brush the rats nest out of hair.

I guess we found out that neither Johnny nor Lucky shot each other; so I guess staying tuned paid off LOL.

CarJax was kind of cute today when Jax was feeding Carly the chocolate; but of course he reverted back to his "I hate Sonny" routine. I'm still waiting for Carly to throw the fact Jax has covered many times for Jerry in his face.

What I don't get is the about face the writers have done to Jax over the past couple of years. Jax would not leave Brenda and humiliate her on their wedding day for kissing Sonny; yet forgive Carly for sleeping with Sonny - TWICE. But, for Jax it's all about beating Sonny some how.

Kristina acts like a brat, Sonny defends himself - again; and a daily rant about Liz

Okay, I get that Kristina is feeling confused about her father and discovering that her father is not perfect; but Sonny has never claimed to be perfect and honestly, the reason Sonny and Kristina don't really know each other is because of Alexis.

Alexis first lied about Sonny' being Kristina's father and when the truth came out; Alexis did everything in her power to keep Sonny away from his daughter. It's not like Sonny didn't want to spend time with Kristina, he fought Alexis all the time. But unfortunately, Kristina doesn't see that and she's only recently gotten to know her father and well, we all know that she was shocked to hear her father go off on Claudia the way he did.

Kristina was being down right rude to Sonny and I was glad to hear him tell her basically that he's her father speak to him with respect. I really wanted to see Sonny slap the punk Kiefer. I can only imagine what he's going to do when he finds out Kiefer has been hitting his only daughter.

I couldn't believe how jealous Kristina got when Ethan came in with that bimbo from Bernie's office. I kind of liked her crush on him and that he was kind of protective of her; but he is way too old for her. The fact she tried to blame Sam for Ethan telling her she was too young was well a bit too much for me.


I don't understand all these people that are suddenly treating Sonny like he's some sort of monster.

Hello, he's a freaking mob boss! He's supposed to eliminate threats to him, his family and his business.

I get that people are upset that he shot Dante, I really do understand why people would be upset; but again; he's a mob boss did you really expect him to say, "Okay Detective, take me into custody." Yeah, like that would ever happen. I seem to remember nearly millions of conversations that Olivia had with more than one person that she thought her "kid could get killed" being on the case. No offense people, but Sonny is right; all of this could have been avoided if someone, anyone told him the truth about Dominic being Dante and being his son.

Where does Patrick get off going to Sonny's house and telling him off? I was proud of Sonny for the way he stood up for himself. The worst part is, Patrick has always liked Sonny and now because the writers want to give Scrubs angst; as usual the writers can't throw a curve ball at one character or couple without destroying someone else or another couple in the process.

Okay and now for my daily rant about the horrendous story line involving Lucky/Liz/Nik.

First of all, she calls Lucky and Nik to Shadybrook separately to tell them she doesn't want them at the hospital; what exactly was the point of that? Umm, there was no point except to try and convince the viewers that Liz is still too fragile to deal with anything controversial. I don't think so.

When Robin told Liz the reason she ended up in Shadybrook is because she wasn't taking care of herself. Are you freaking kidding me? Not taking care of herself? I seem to remember Nik taking pretty good care of her in the bedroom, rather on the couch. In fact didn't Liz tell Nik or Robin that she's never felt that good sexually with any other guy? If that's not taking care of yourself, I don't know what is!

And for one final note on Wednesday's episode: The final scene, yet another shootout; so original.

So, who shot who? Did Johnny shoot Lucky? Did Lucky shoot Johnny? Stay tuned we might actually see someone NOT get shot on General Hospital!

Carly takes action, Kristina forgives her abuser and feisty Liz is back

I used to love CarJax, I mean I really loved CarJax. I loved that Jax made Carly a more mature woman. Then Jax as usual decided Sonny needed to pay; no matter who he hurt in the process. So I began to hate CarJax, well I'm back to loving them again, together, because Jax alone I loathe.

When Carly cleared the floor I thought for sure she was going to start throwing things at Jax, I had no idea she was going to literally rip his clothes off. When she looked at him when all was said and done and said "I just wanted to remind you what you're missing." Well, she literally reminded me as well. IR and LW have amazing chemistry. They play off each other well and bring out the best in each other. I don't really care for Jax, actually I hate him, when he's going after Sonny. But when he's with Carly, I adore him.


When Molly came running out of Kristina's room with the cell phone Keifer gave her, I literally was laughing. Molly is such a breath of fresh air on this violence filled show.

Molly teased her big sister as she quoted Keifer's text messages. As much as I love Molly, listening to her recite the text messages made me realize even more how controlling Keifer is. I mean I already knew he was an abusive punk, but to send her a message that says "I thought I meant something to you," after he's the one that's hurt her is really, well, out of line.

I was proud of Kristina at first when Keifer showed up until she told him they both hurt each other and that she believed in him. Kristina doesn't care for her father too much because of the violence in his life, yet she is allowing her boyfriend to physically abuse her. Doesn't make much sense now does it?


It looks like feisty Liz is back. That was quick. Okay, so here is my rant about Elizabeth Webber. What exactly is she doing in Shadybrook in the first place?

She's not crazy, she got caught cheating and felt guilty about it. Yeah so she went on the roof of GH; do we really believe she was going to hurt herself and leave her boys without a mother, umm, yeah I don't think so. It's another ploy to make us the viewers sympathize with poor little Elizabeth. I ain't buying it.

I don't get why the writers have to make her look so good. Why is it necessary to give her a so-called "breakdown" story line? Oh, I know because if they have her simply get caught and actually pay for or own her decisions then she would be just like Carly, Maxie and Sam. Obviously the halo the writers have Liz wearing isn't ready to be tarnished just yet.



One last thought, the skank named Lisa really needs to get the heck out of Port Charles. She's not a friend to neither Patrick nor Robin. All she is trying to do is make Patrick want his old life back; that much was obvious when the skank said to Coleman that whenever Robin was around Patrick turned dull and domesticated.

The ONLY good parts about the skank yesterday was that we got us some Coleman! And of course, Scrubs talked about their fight, kissed and made up. Looks like Lisa is going to try and think of some other way to get Patrick.

Sonny love, Lucky praise and a skank named Lisa

Today marked yet another victory for the PC mob boss. When Carly burst into the court room telling the judge that Jax was the cause of this and whatnot, I thought for sure the Judge was going to hold her in contempt of court, but of course not - in Port Charles, the crazies rule the asylum not the sane ones.
Don't get me wrong, I love Carly and have always loved her unconditional support of Sonny; but sometimes she really has no clue as to what the consequences could possibly of her actions.

Diane was right, Carly showed how biased she is when it comes to Sonny and I'm sure Claire Walsh will use that to the best of her ability.

I loved what Sonny said about his children because he does try to be a good father. I loved that when he spoke about Kristina he looked at Alexis. It was a heartfelt moment and didn't feel rehearsed like most speeches in court do. Sonny spoke from the heart and he had me convinced!

I'm curious as to what lie Carly and Sam plan on telling to convince the judge and jury that Sonny did not kill Claudia. I'm also curious as to how well Diane and Alexis will work together; they have a great friendship but the way they practice law is completely different.

Though I'm still having a hard time stomaching the Jason/Lucky friendship and/or mutual respect for each other, I loved Lucky's honesty about the kids.

When Lucky went to Liz and told her they had no future I was ecstatic! Even though I don't think it will be that long before Lucky saves her again, falls back in love with her and they get back together. I have a knot in the pit of my stomach that tells me Lucky and Liz will keep repeating the pattern of cheating, betrayal and forgiving - and no I don't think Lucky has been innocent in the past. I honestly thought Liz and Nik would get together and Lucky would be free.

I was pleasantly surprised when Lucky told Luke that he would look into Carlos' arrest and see if there was a loop hole of sorts so Luke could continue to get his cigars. Lucky, since becoming a cop, would normally never consider anything like that.

I have to say as much as I dislike the character of Liz; I've come to realize I hate Lisa even more than I hate Liz. I didn't think that was possible.

When she told Patrick and Coleman that her bra was too tight I think I literally threw up in my mouth. Then to top it off watching the way she bent over backwards over the bar was even worse. She's so obvious I can't believe that Robin and Patrick have not seen through her act yet. She is trying so hard to drive a wedge between Scrubs by trying to make Patrick miss his single days. I really hope someone puts the skank in her place before it's too late for Scrubs. The ONLY good thing about Patrick and Lisa being at Jake's is that we finally got to see Coleman!!!
